This legal template is specifically designed to guide individuals or parties seeking an anti-suit injunction under Section 37 of the Senior Courts Act 1981.

By following this template and its accompanying drafting notes, individuals or legal professionals can create a comprehensive and legally sound witness statement customized for an anti-suit injunction application. The witness statement and its corresponding drafting notes aim to provide clear instructions and guidance, ultimately assisting users in presenting a persuasive case for obtaining the desired anti-suit injunction under US law.
